Transcript

00:00:14.000 From New York, it's Gev Monday One with Kevin McGuinness We were just talking about
00:00:44.000 how much we let singers get away with when it comes to their voice.
00:00:50.000 I don't, I think it's kind of irritating.
00:00:55.000 Like Elvis Costello, you were singing with the town in the side by dough with the max shack radio on.
00:01:02.000 Something that we told about, something that I detected when something broke.
00:01:09.000 Saying things that I could never believe.
00:01:12.000 I kind of like that.
00:01:13.000 If there was somebody hanging out that was doing that, you wouldn't like that?
00:01:16.000 It's kind of punky.
00:01:17.000 But what we were just talking about was, like in that song, and he goes, the waiting is the hardest part.
00:01:26.000 And if you ever met Tom Petty and you go, hey, man, sorry I'm late.
00:01:30.000 And he was like, oh, it's okay.
00:01:32.000 But the waiting was the hardest part.
00:01:35.000 You'd go, Tom Petty's having a stroke.
00:01:38.000 He can't enunciate his Parkinson's.
00:01:41.000 The diagnosis is unfortunate.
00:01:46.000 That's what he would say.
00:01:47.000 Or that's why I always hated all those 90s grunge, or not grunge, but post-grunge bands like Creed.
00:01:55.000 And I despise Pearl Jam.
00:01:58.000 And that, hell, coming soon, honomo.
00:02:02.000 If you met that guy, like you meet Eddie Venner, he's like, hey, what's going on?
00:02:05.000 I'm an edive.
00:02:08.000 How are you?
00:02:09.000 You sound like a black Elvis impersonator falling.
00:02:14.000 Roar!
00:02:15.000 Hey, making through the days on a mountain.
00:02:21.000 But then, like other bands do it, and like Led Zeppelin sings weird, or even Thin Lizzy.
00:02:28.000 Thin Lizzie is an Irishman singing with an American accent.
00:02:33.000 The boys are back in town.
00:02:37.000 That's not Phil Leinett.
00:02:38.000 He's black.
00:02:40.000 He's literally a black Irishman.
00:02:43.000 And yeah, he talks weird.
00:02:46.000 I'm talking weird because I'm drinking Wyoming whiskey, a new sponsor of ours.
00:02:52.000 Now, this is given to me by a boxing buddy, and apparently it's the same distiller as the guy who did Maker's Mark.
00:03:02.000 That's a big thing in Scotland.
00:03:03.000 They'll sit at the pub and talk about booze the entire time.
00:03:07.000 You see, they got a new brewing master from McEwen's Lager there, Eddie McCurry.
00:03:12.000 Like, they know the names of all the brewmasters.
00:03:15.000 You hear Angus Dunan is no longer at Tenants anymore.
00:03:21.000 He's moved on.
00:03:23.000 Oh, he's moved to a different beer.
00:03:25.000 I don't give a shit.
00:03:28.000 What's that you're drinking, Gavin?
00:03:30.000 I don't know.
00:03:31.000 You don't know.
00:03:33.000 Here.
00:03:34.000 That's Tenants.
00:03:36.000 Oh, okay.
00:03:37.000 That's a woman's pint.
00:03:40.000 Although they think Budweiser is very fancy.
00:03:42.000 And Corona.
00:03:44.000 That's an exotic Mexican beer, by the way.
00:03:47.000 That's luxurious.
00:03:49.000 We're the same way with Stella, though.
00:03:51.000 We think Stella's a fancy beer.
00:03:52.000 They call it the wife beater, I think, in the Netherlands.
00:03:55.000 Anyway, sorry.
00:03:57.000 We've got a lot to talk about today.
00:03:59.000 We've got James O'Keefe on the show, I hope.
00:04:03.000 I wanted to talk about this shirt.
00:04:06.000 I'd like to come over and show it to you.
00:04:09.000 The cameras we have here at the studio are spooky.
00:04:09.000 if you don't mind.
00:04:14.000 The quality of, look at that.
00:04:16.000 That's better than my eye.
00:04:18.000 I can't hear you.
00:04:19.000 Oh, if you go ahead and...
00:04:23.000 The quality of these cameras are better than my eyes.
00:04:25.000 Wait, now I'm all messed up.
00:04:28.000 What is it now?
00:04:28.000 Look at that.
00:04:33.000 You can see the stitching.
00:04:35.000 Anyway.
00:04:36.000 Anyway.
00:04:38.000 Did you just fart while walking past me?
00:04:40.000 No, the floor's creaking.
00:04:43.000 If I was going to fart as I walked by you, I would deliberate.
00:04:47.000 I felt pretty deliberate.
00:04:51.000 I felt the wind on the neck.
00:04:53.000 Good pun.
00:04:53.000 Thank you.
00:04:54.000 Don't get too drunk with power, though, and start punning it up.
00:04:57.000 Yeah, this shirt, I haven't worn it in a long time.
00:05:00.000 I've had it for decades.
00:05:02.000 And it's by my friend Wendy Mullen.
00:05:04.000 Built by Wendy is the name of the company.
00:05:07.000 And she doesn't like me anymore because of Trump, but we used to be good friends.
00:05:12.000 And I used to be buddies with my Puerto Rican laundry lady, right?
00:05:17.000 You know, when you would, before you, when you live in the city, you don't have a laundromat.
00:05:21.000 So you go to the laundry place and you drop it off.
00:05:24.000 I don't get how people do their own laundry at a laundromat.
00:05:27.000 You're sitting there for five hours.
00:05:30.000 Isn't your time valuable to you?
00:05:32.000 It's maybe another five bucks to have them do it and fold it and all that stuff.
00:05:36.000 So you're saving, what, five?
00:05:38.000 Let's say you're saving 10 bucks.
00:05:40.000 You're saving $10 to sit somewhere for three hours.
00:05:42.000 So your time is worth $3.33.
00:05:46.000 That's a fifth of minimum wage in New York.
00:05:49.000 You're a loser.
00:05:50.000 But anyway, I go there and I got the shirt and I got along with the Puerto Rican well and she was one of those Square Ricans, a Square Rican.
00:06:00.000 You know, the ones that don't do Coke and go to church a lot and they hate that their brother sells Coke.
00:06:05.000 They're not very common.
00:06:08.000 Not on welfare, all that stuff.
00:06:10.000 What are you toggling all over the place?
00:06:12.000 I accidentally toggled to a thing.
00:06:14.000 Okay, don't do that.
00:06:17.000 And so she said, what's that on your shirt?
00:06:19.000 Is that your initials?
00:06:20.000 I go, my name's Gavin Miles McInnes, so no.
00:06:23.000 FTW means fuck the world.
00:06:25.000 And she goes, no, it doesn't.
00:06:28.000 I go, yeah, my shirt says fuck the world.
00:06:29.000 It's like a common, you never heard FTW before?
00:06:32.000 It's a common thing.
00:06:34.000 And she goes, no.
00:06:36.000 And I go, I know the woman who made the shirt.
00:06:38.000 And she goes, I don't believe you.
00:06:39.000 I'll call her right now.
00:06:40.000 So I call up Wendy Mullen and I go, yeah, I'm here with this woman.
00:06:44.000 She doesn't believe me that FTW is fuck the world.
00:06:49.000 And Wendy goes, pass me the phone.
00:06:50.000 So I give the phone to the woman with the laundromat, like an older lady.
00:06:53.000 She's probably 60.
00:06:56.000 And Wendy goes, what the fuck are you talking about, bitch?
00:06:59.000 Fuck the world, motherfucker.
00:07:01.000 Wake up, you dumb bitch.
00:07:03.000 What are you stupid?
00:07:05.000 And I take the phone back, and I noticed the woman was like this after.
00:07:10.000 Wendy thought that I was with my wife, who she's very close with and has known for years.
00:07:15.000 Oh, boy.
00:07:16.000 So she thought she was talking to Emily.
00:07:19.000 And that's why she was so raunchy.
00:07:20.000 And I knew something was up because the Puerto Rican was sort of going as she spoke on the phone.
00:07:27.000 So that's the story of this shirt.
00:07:29.000 All right, before we get to our guest and Homeless Gavin and the mailbag, which I doubt will last very long, and an update in the 25 hottest chicks, before we get to all of that stuff, we got some shocking news today that Norman Lear and I think Jimmy Kimmel are teaming up to bring us a one-time special of Archie Bunker.
00:07:54.000 Woody Harlson will be playing Archie Bunker.
00:07:57.000 You got that article here?
00:07:58.000 The Jeffersons will also be getting a short-lived major celebrity reboot.
00:08:03.000 This is bad news, folks.
00:08:07.000 They're about to ruin a legend.
00:08:10.000 Now, Archie Bunker, I'm obviously a huge fan of.
00:08:13.000 I model my life after him.
00:08:15.000 I am him.
00:08:17.000 And it comes actually from a British show called Steptoe and Son.
00:08:20.000 But Norman Lear is a pussy liberal who was listening to some nut bar on 80s radio in New York.
00:08:29.000 And I guess this guy was saying a bunch of white nationalist stuff and he led to some murder.
00:08:35.000 I'm talking about like the 70s here.
00:08:37.000 And it was some controversial radio show.
00:08:39.000 You could probably look that up, Brian, as is your job.
00:08:43.000 Norman Lear inspired, talk show, radio, was inspired by.
00:08:48.000 Anyway, he goes, oh my God, there's this danger of racism looming around every corner.
00:08:53.000 What I'm going to do is make a show where the racist is lampooned and everyone will hate him for being a bigot.
00:09:02.000 And I'll save the world.
00:09:05.000 So that's how the show started off.
00:09:07.000 Edith was cool and smart and a bitch and kind of a feminist.
00:09:11.000 And Archie Bunker was just a dump, a frumpy, dumb bigot.
00:09:18.000 And Meathead was the son who was a smart liberal who would teach not just Archie, but through Archie, teach America.
00:09:26.000 And what happened inevitably was everyone was reminded of their working class dad, their working class uncle, the guys they worked with on the docks who bust their ass.
00:09:38.000 And they didn't identify with Edith at first until she became more maternal and delicate, like their mom was.
00:09:46.000 And the next thing you know, Norman Lear's plan blows up in his face, and we all fall in love with Archie Bunker.
00:09:53.000 So I think Norman is always, I know for a fact that Norman resented that.
00:09:59.000 Even Carol O'Connor, the guy who played Archie Bunker, resented that he was so loved, his character was so loved.
00:10:06.000 So I hereby wager, I'm going to go to Bet DSI and bet that this is going to be a politically correct version.
00:10:14.000 He's going to learn how stupid he is.
00:10:16.000 Meanwhile, in the show, you learn that he's not a racist.
00:10:19.000 And when he joins some club, he finds out that they're associated with the KKK and he goes to fight them.
00:10:25.000 He hangs out with Sammy Davis Jr.
00:10:26.000 Sammy kisses him.
00:10:28.000 Like, the reason we like Archie is because he shows us that sometimes we say unfortunate things by accident.
00:10:36.000 But ultimately, deep down, racism is a myth.
00:10:40.000 Ultimately, deep down, you meet a black guy.
00:10:42.000 He's got stuff in common with you.
00:10:44.000 You're happy to hang out with him.
00:10:45.000 We're too selfish to be racist.
00:10:49.000 If we are at a bar and we meet a black guy who likes the Mets and loves BLTs and is drinking this new Wyoming whiskey that the guy from Makersmark made, I got someone to talk to now about my favorite things.
00:11:04.000 I'd love to talk to this guy.
00:11:05.000 Are his kids addicted to Fortnite?
00:11:08.000 Is he having trouble as his teenage daughter?
00:11:10.000 Is he worried about her social life and all that stuff?
00:11:13.000 Are the schools pissing him off?
00:11:15.000 The schools are pissing me off too, dude.
00:11:18.000 Why would I deny myself an interesting conversation?
00:11:18.000 Take a seat.
00:11:21.000 Same with the employment.
00:11:23.000 You don't want to deny yourself an interesting conversation.
00:11:26.000 Wow.
00:11:27.000 This show goes by lickety split.
00:11:30.000 All right.
00:11:31.000 So I just want to show you a few clips of Archie Bunker so you can see how fantastic it was.
00:11:38.000 Just play them in the order that I sent them to you because I don't have them titled here properly.
00:11:44.000 I think they all say fag.
00:11:47.000 Well, this one.
00:11:48.000 That don't answer the question.
00:11:49.000 Who's the big cheese you're having here for lunch?
00:11:52.000 Roger.
00:11:53.000 Roger the fairy?
00:11:55.000 Oh, that's what's my fault.
00:11:57.000 If you had that eaten, you know who they're bringing around here for lunch?
00:12:01.000 Roger, sweet tea, pie Roger.
00:12:03.000 Sweet tea, pie Roger.
00:12:05.000 Just pause for a second here.
00:12:07.000 Now, I'm comfortable with gays.
00:12:08.000 I moved into the city when I was 18 in 1988.
00:12:11.000 I've been surrounded with homosexuals, surrounded by homosexuals for a quarter century.
00:12:15.000 My wife's a fag hag.
00:12:17.000 I'm fine with them.
00:12:18.000 But even me, I'm talking to a gay man and I'm thinking, you put your dink in his bum.
00:12:23.000 Huh.
00:12:24.000 That's weird.
00:12:25.000 You don't like boobies.
00:12:26.000 It floats around in the back of your head.
00:12:28.000 It's not a big deal.
00:12:29.000 But for, I'd say, 80% of America, they're not used to gays.
00:12:33.000 They don't hang out with gays.
00:12:35.000 And the idea of a gay coming over for dinner, it is kind of weird to them.
00:12:39.000 They don't want to kill him.
00:12:41.000 So Archie is just showing us the normal homophobia we all have.
00:12:47.000 And that's what I did in my article where I said transphobia is perfectly natural and I had my ad agency close down.
00:12:53.000 20 people lost their jobs because I said that you're not a woman, you're just mentally ill gay.
00:12:57.000 I said, if your dad, you see your dad one year at Thanksgiving, right?
00:13:00.000 You're busy, you don't see him much.
00:13:02.000 The next time you see him, he's Gladys, and he has long hair and a dress, just like Caitlin Jenner.
00:13:07.000 The notion that everyone at the table is going to be fine with it as they eat Christmas dinner is a lie.
00:13:12.000 There's going to be lots of tears at that dinner as they deal with the fact that dad has lost it.
00:13:18.000 So that's what Archie is representing here, and that's why people are giggling.
00:13:21.000 Not because he wants to hurt that man or he wants gays not to exist, but because he's an old-fashioned working-class guy and he's freaked out by it.
00:13:28.000 Much more than we are, but we're still tapping into that.
00:13:31.000 You get it?
00:13:32.000 I mean, I'm ruining comedy by explaining it, but this is why it's so fun to watch this show.
00:13:37.000 Go ahead.
00:13:38.000 Listen, Edith, we run a decent home here, and we don't need any strange little birdies flying in and out of it.
00:13:46.000 Yeah, stop that.
00:13:48.000 Roger's not a strange little birdie.
00:13:50.000 By the way, just pause here.
00:13:51.000 Hey, bitch, move out.
00:13:54.000 You and your parasitic boyfriend are living under Archie's roof.
00:13:59.000 I think he works at the docks or he's a cab driver or something.
00:13:59.000 He busts his ass.
00:14:02.000 And aren't you a little old to be in college?
00:14:04.000 What is he, 35?
00:14:06.000 He's almost bald in this show.
00:14:08.000 Oh, that's another prediction.
00:14:10.000 I bet you Rob Reiner is going to make a cameo, and it's going to be really irritating.
00:14:14.000 It won't be a cute one like Stan Lee does in Spider-Man movies.
00:14:18.000 He's going to come in and he'll say, huh, sounds familiar.
00:14:21.000 And then maybe look at the camera and walk off.
00:14:23.000 I'm all going.
00:14:25.000 The fact that I would be staying at my father-in-law's house and talking to him like that is unthinkable.
00:14:31.000 I've never spoken to my father-in-law in any way.
00:14:34.000 The worst thing I've said to him is, really?
00:14:36.000 You can't actually, do you really think that?
00:14:38.000 Never.
00:14:39.000 Oh, come on, Och.
00:14:41.000 That's terrible what you just said.
00:14:43.000 Never.
00:14:44.000 Your friends are lauded ya.
00:14:46.000 I don't even think I say that to my friends when they say something absurd.
00:14:51.000 I mean, I abuse you, but you're my employee.
00:14:53.000 That's true.
00:14:54.000 At off hours, you treat me very nicely.
00:14:57.000 That's the way it should be.
00:14:59.000 Roger is as queer as a $4 bill, and he knows it.
00:15:03.000 That's not only cruel, Daddy, that's an outright lie.
00:15:06.000 Just pause.
00:15:07.000 Why is it cruel to be accused of being gay, Gloria?
00:15:11.000 What is it?
00:15:12.000 Bad?
00:15:12.000 Hmm, you just showed your true colors, you homophobe.
00:15:19.000 Just because a guy is sensitive and he's an intellectual and he wears glasses, you make him out a queer.
00:15:24.000 I never said a guy who wears glasses is a queer.
00:15:27.000 A guy who wears glasses is a four-eyes.
00:15:30.000 A guy who is a fag is a queer.
00:15:33.000 Can you just replay that?
00:15:34.000 Of course.
00:15:35.000 Carol O'Connor, his comic delivery is unbelievable.
00:15:39.000 The way he blinks first and he goes, "A guy who's a fag." Yeah, he doesn't make eye contact for a second.
00:15:51.000 He just the way he holds his head.
00:15:54.000 And then he comes in with this fag.
00:15:56.000 Yeah, he breaks eye contact, comes back.
00:15:58.000 Why can't we say that word anymore?
00:16:00.000 It's funny.
00:16:01.000 Take him out of queer.
00:16:02.000 I never said a guy who wears glasses is a queer.
00:16:04.000 Whip.
00:16:05.000 A guy who wears glasses is a four-eyes.
00:16:07.000 A guy who is a fag is a queer.
00:16:11.000 Beautiful.
00:16:12.000 All right.
00:16:13.000 Running out of time.
00:16:16.000 There's a lot of things I want to discuss, but the reason I brought all of this up is because I'm reminded that the left is so desperate for villains that they are taking all our jokes seriously.
00:16:28.000 Like the Mike Pence thing, that he's a homophobe.
00:16:31.000 And Pete Butley Geeg, whatever his name is, was trying to imply that Mike Pence is a homophobe.
00:16:36.000 This is all based on a rumor that Mike Pence wants gays electrocuted.
00:16:40.000 All he said was, if a state wants to spend some of its money on conversion therapy for gays, then go ahead.
00:16:49.000 It's up to that state.
00:16:50.000 I don't care what states do.
00:16:52.000 They have their individual rights.
00:16:54.000 That's all he said.
00:16:55.000 And that became he wants to electrocute gays.
00:16:57.000 So what does the right do?
00:16:58.000 We have memes with him with electricity shooting out of his hands because we think it's hilarious.
00:17:04.000 And then they get mortified and want that banned because they think we want to electrocute gays.
00:17:09.000 Or, another example, Tucker Carlson, they keep digging up these tapes of him.
00:17:16.000 Rupert Murdoch, I'm 100% his bitch.
00:17:20.000 He's on Bubba the Love Sponge's show.
00:17:22.000 Is it possible he's joking?
00:17:24.000 So this dumb cow, Ada Chavez, is pretending that this is all serious.
00:17:30.000 When asked on Bubba the Love Sponge in 2008, how he pays his bills, Carlson replied that he's extraordinarily loaded just from inheritance from my number of trust funds.
00:17:39.000 And then he says, I'll go and beat some servants.
00:17:42.000 I'll wrap my Lamborghini around a tree, go pick up a kilo or two, you know, just like normal stuff.
00:17:50.000 Is it possible that Tucker was being satirical when he said that?
00:17:54.000 Like they willfully ignore jokes.
00:17:56.000 I call them the chicken cross the road joke.
00:17:58.000 Like I get accused when I was talking about how to pick up Asian chicks and I called them rice balls.
00:18:05.000 No one calls Asians rice balls.
00:18:07.000 I'm clearly joking.
00:18:09.000 It's not the N-word.
00:18:11.000 I challenge you to find a person in the country who goes, yeah, well, there was a lot of rice balls there, so I didn't hang out too long.
00:18:18.000 Look at her.
00:18:18.000 That's another thing about a lot of these columns.
00:18:21.000 We're reading stuff written by children.
00:18:25.000 Like the Intercept, the New York Post, they hire these 20-something college girls.
00:18:31.000 They're infants.
00:18:33.000 I don't want to hear what this woman has to say.
00:18:36.000 She has zero knowledge to impart.
00:18:41.000 She can't even impart her hair properly.
00:18:45.000 I guess I don't mind if she babysits, but I don't want to come back too late because I think she's going to fall asleep.
00:18:52.000 All right, we got to get Motrin here.
00:18:55.000 Let's talk to Homeless Me about the trouble with cell phone addiction and how out of control it's getting in the country.
00:19:04.000 Take it away, Homeless Me.
00:19:07.000 Bumper.
00:19:09.000 bumper I think a lot of us assume that young people are on their phones too much, especially girls.
00:19:22.000 And we see them holding their phones in their hand all the time.
00:19:26.000 And we go, these girls are incapable of handling life Without their phones.
00:19:32.000 And I want to say to you, stop judging young people.
00:19:35.000 We all had our things.
00:19:37.000 We had our Ataris or our Game Boys or comic books in the 1950s, where we had those circular things that you'd hit with a stick, or you had that little roller doohickey that was made from a plate of chips.
00:19:54.000 And today they are slightly impartial to phones, but it's not an addiction.
00:20:01.000 When a little girl, say a 13-year-old, has her phone taken away, she learns to deal with it.
00:20:07.000 She talks to people around her.
00:20:08.000 She says, hey, man, when can I get my phone back?
00:20:12.000 To her grandmother or whatever.
00:20:14.000 And her grandmother will go, I don't know, in like an hour, maybe when the plane lands.
00:20:17.000 And she goes, you know what?
00:20:19.000 I get it.
00:20:21.000 That's a wake-up call.
00:20:22.000 I get it.
00:20:24.000 And our problem as adults, as people who aren't part of the youngster generation, is we keep injecting our own sort of values on these kids.
00:20:35.000 These kids are fine.
00:20:37.000 Okay?
00:20:37.000 It's a different construct.
00:20:40.000 It's a different paradigm.
00:20:43.000 It's a different context.
00:20:45.000 It's a different universe.
00:20:48.000 If you take a young girl's phone away, she will understand.
00:20:53.000 And I think if you talk to her rationally, she'll actually learn a thing or two about her own disproportionate need to be on her fucking phone.
00:21:06.000 *music*
00:21:13.000 Did you like my hair and my beard like that?
00:21:15.000 Yep.
00:21:16.000 At the time, it looked really cool.
00:21:17.000 I thought you were going for what I have.
00:21:19.000 Whatever the hell my hair looks like.
00:21:20.000 An inferiority complex?
00:21:25.000 James O'Keefe just had a major victory.
00:21:28.000 Major victory, reporting for duty.
00:21:30.000 The story of Wentz's lawsuit against Project Veritas created a minor media sensitive.
00:21:34.000 So here's the story.
00:21:35.000 Steve Wentz was the head of Teachers Union in Kentucky, and Project Veritas did a huge sting on teachers in this country.
00:21:46.000 You know my feeling on teachers?
00:21:48.000 Yes, there's some exceptions, but for the most part, they are bloated, bitchy women, feminists who are brainwashing our kids into thinking that America was built on slavery and stolen from the Indians, and white men are bad, and women rock.
00:22:05.000 And they start at kindergarten telling boys they're terrible, and this goes all the way up through college.
00:22:10.000 They're ruining the country, basically.
00:22:12.000 And the teachers' unions are a big part of that because women are very agreeable generally.
00:22:17.000 Naturally, genetically, they tend to want to keep the thing going.
00:22:20.000 We're more confrontational as men.
00:22:23.000 We're more questioning.
00:22:24.000 So when the unions go, look, push this leftist crap because it's pro-union and we're the union and we are the most powerful lobby in Washington, bigger than tobacco, bigger than anything, combined, we spend more money.
00:22:38.000 Way bigger than the NRA, by the way.
00:22:40.000 Way bigger.
00:22:43.000 And they brainwashed these women into brainwashing our kids.
00:22:46.000 So James O'Keeffe goes undercover and he catches them bragging about their socialist paradise and how they can't be fired and how they'll threaten to beat the shit out of a kid and it'll be no problem.
00:22:56.000 And this guy, Steve Wentz, was caught saying that he'll kick the shit out of a kid.
00:23:04.000 And he's threatened them many times.
00:23:06.000 And he can't get caught.
00:23:08.000 And then, so you have the Breitbart article?
00:23:10.000 Did you pull that up already?
00:23:11.000 Yeah, you did.
00:23:12.000 Did you?
00:23:13.000 Nope.
00:23:13.000 First time.
00:23:14.000 Okay.
00:23:16.000 BuzzFeed News reported that Wentz had claimed the video had been creatively edited to make him appear violent and dangerous.
00:23:23.000 This is the thing they always say about James O'Keefe, is that he creatively edits stuff.
00:23:28.000 But you watch it and you see, well, actually, we have the videos.
00:23:32.000 You should pull them up.
00:23:34.000 You see them saying it.
00:23:36.000 Well, there's going to be a commercial and stuff, dude.
00:23:38.000 So you pull up the video in your time and you make sure it's ready to rock.
00:23:41.000 Then you show it to dad.
00:23:43.000 Okay.
00:23:46.000 Veritas is here.
00:23:47.000 Okay.
00:23:47.000 Want to kick my ass?
00:23:49.000 Do you really think I'm a motherfucker?
00:23:50.000 Son, go for it.
00:23:55.000 You can see his face, dude.
00:23:56.000 It's way too zoomed in.
00:23:58.000 I've done this more than once.
00:24:00.000 And I should, but I guarantee you, I will kick your fucking ass.
00:24:03.000 The union would throw me under the ball.
00:24:06.000 I mean.
00:24:09.000 That's an interesting one because he says the union would throw him under the bus.
00:24:12.000 They wouldn't.
00:24:12.000 But there's another one I like that has nothing to do with this case.
00:24:19.000 It's called My Favorite Was Teachers Gone Wild.
00:24:24.000 So he was saying that he will violently attack.
00:24:26.000 So he sued James O'Keefe.
00:24:27.000 James O'Keefe spent $350,000 defending himself.
00:24:33.000 He could have easily settled.
00:24:34.000 He could have easily paid out 40K and been done with it.
00:24:37.000 But the media would say, James O'Keefe pleads guilty.
00:24:41.000 And he's just said no.
00:24:43.000 He said, I'm sick of this litigious culture we live in.
00:24:46.000 I'm sick of people hearing about it and assuming that you were guilty because you pled guilty.
00:24:51.000 The New York City Nine, the Proud Boys, all but three of them have pled guilty because it was either lawyer's fees you can't afford to the tune of tens of thousands or five days community service.
00:25:01.000 What would you choose?
00:25:03.000 Now, the three who are sticking it out can afford it, sort of, they're going deep into debt.
00:25:09.000 And their punishment was prison and a year of probation, big stuff like that.
00:25:12.000 And they said, no, we're not settling.
00:25:14.000 And I'm so glad they're doing that because when you don't settle or don't take any plea, you can then sue the city.
00:25:22.000 So James, who may have settled, I think he settled earlier on in his career because of the math.
00:25:26.000 He didn't have the money and he just thought, it's $5,000 here to pay you to go away or $350,000 to fight it for years and years.
00:25:32.000 This is back in 2017, this all started.
00:25:34.000 And he just won.
00:25:35.000 The judge said, no, it wasn't creatively edited.
00:25:38.000 You said you kicked the shit out of kids.
00:25:41.000 You threatened to beat them up.
00:25:44.000 Which was beautiful.
00:25:45.000 But that, so I was really happy.
00:25:47.000 When I first heard this, I thought it was a different tape from the same sort of batch.
00:25:52.000 And this is actually, I prefer more than the Steve Wentz one.
00:25:56.000 It's called Teachers Gone Wild.
00:25:58.000 Check it out.
00:26:00.000 This is them singing about kicking Chris Christie in the nuts.
00:26:03.000 Chris Christie, one of the few politicians to stand up to the teachers' unions.
00:26:09.000 So jump to 108.
00:26:12.000 That's at 108.
00:26:14.000 Okay.
00:26:15.000 Even if there's like a case like that.
00:26:17.000 It's really hard.
00:26:19.000 Once you get that three years a day, it's like, swing.
00:26:23.000 It's really hard.
00:26:24.000 Like you seriously have to be aware of that.
00:26:26.000 This isn't one minute in.
00:26:27.000 They'll even brag about their members not getting fired for covering.
00:26:30.000 That gives the N-word.
00:26:32.000 We have a teacher that just recently was like, you nigger.
00:26:37.000 But he can move down another student.
00:26:42.000 And the teacher has been demoted, but it's the teacher.
00:26:48.000 And watch out.
00:26:49.000 No one can stop this wild party.
00:26:51.000 Not even New Jersey's Governor Chris.
00:26:53.000 All right, that's enough.
00:26:55.000 He gets pretty wild.
00:26:56.000 Nobody I know talks that way.
00:27:00.000 Yeah, that's pretty wild.
00:27:01.000 Yeah, who, like, when was the last time you heard the N-word?
00:27:04.000 And this is in New Jersey.
00:27:05.000 With a hard R. Just someone with a hard R just yelling that to a kid.
00:27:09.000 I mean, you see in the South, but a teacher?
00:27:09.000 Right.
00:27:12.000 And I said this to Mark Maron on his podcast, which he promptly buried.
00:27:16.000 He said, there's not just one thing that can fix education in this country.
00:27:20.000 There's no magic button.
00:27:21.000 I go, yeah, there is.
00:27:22.000 And charter schools are using it.
00:27:24.000 It's called making it possible to fire them.
00:27:27.000 That's all you have to do.
00:27:28.000 They keep saying more funding, more funding.
00:27:30.000 Charter school teachers get paid less than public school teachers.
00:27:36.000 Charter schools are public schools, but normal state-run public schools.
00:27:40.000 And the charter school teachers like it better.
00:27:42.000 I think people like it better when they can be fired.
00:27:45.000 It's more rewarding work.
00:27:47.000 If you played sports and every team won, you wouldn't be excited about the game.
00:27:53.000 It's called the free market.
00:27:55.000 Anyway, I want to, do we have James on the line yet?
00:27:59.000 What's that picture you have?
00:28:00.000 I worked for Project Veritas.
00:28:02.000 This is Veritas Exposed, where they expose the people who work there.
00:28:07.000 I'm 47 years old.
00:28:10.000 Scroll down.
00:28:11.000 This is my disguise, if you keep going down.
00:28:14.000 That's my disguise.
00:28:16.000 By the way, this exposed, go back.
00:28:19.000 You're showing a tweet I put up.
00:28:23.000 I exposed myself, but that was my disguise.
00:28:26.000 I just wore funny glasses and I cut my beard.
00:28:29.000 Oh, this is opposition to it.
00:28:31.000 Yes.
00:28:31.000 I see.
00:28:32.000 Oh, that's me.
00:28:32.000 There you go.
00:28:33.000 Yeah, they showed you.
00:28:35.000 I didn't like working for James.
00:28:37.000 Why?
00:28:38.000 Because to get something like that, you have to do 100 hours of work.
00:28:43.000 So I went down to catch Mary Landrau doing something corrupt.
00:28:47.000 I worked on her campaign for three days.
00:28:49.000 I went door to door for days talking to people, promoting her.
00:28:53.000 Because the way I was embedded is I was a volunteer.
00:28:55.000 So I helped get her elected.
00:28:57.000 Holy shit.
00:28:58.000 Someone I hate.
00:28:58.000 And you're good.
00:29:00.000 And I was convincing myself.
00:29:02.000 I started really selling her to people because I was in New Orleans.
00:29:06.000 And, you know, they're not that left-wing there.
00:29:09.000 At least the areas I was in.
00:29:11.000 So I ended up kind of brainwashing myself into liking her.
00:29:15.000 But yeah, without further to do, let's talk to old Jimmy.
00:29:20.000 Music James, are you there, sir?
00:29:29.000 I'm here.
00:29:30.000 Here I am.
00:29:31.000 You're recording?
00:29:31.000 Are we ready?
00:29:32.000 Are we set?
00:29:32.000 We rocking.
00:29:33.000 James, you won.
00:29:34.000 You won.
00:29:36.000 Yes.
00:29:37.000 Yes.
00:29:37.000 Many different things, actually.
00:29:39.000 Oh, explain.
00:29:40.000 Many different things.
00:29:41.000 Please explain.
00:29:43.000 So we won.
00:29:44.000 Well, first of all, we won a federal lawsuit, summary judgment, which means that after the discovery process where they depose you, this teacher union president from Kansas, we caught on tape saying he was at a bar and he said, I will kick your effing ass.
00:30:00.000 He was talking about what he said to a student to discipline him.
00:30:04.000 And he said, you want to call me a mother effer son?
00:30:06.000 Go for it.
00:30:07.000 I'll give you the best shot.
00:30:08.000 I'll kick your ass.
00:30:08.000 He's talking about disciplining students in this way.
00:30:10.000 Yeah, we just watched the video and he said, I've said that to several students.
00:30:15.000 Yeah, more than once.
00:30:17.000 Now, he's talking in a very loud bar in Florida, which is a two-party consent state to tape.
00:30:23.000 So this guy sues us and says, you lied about me.
00:30:27.000 There's nothing lying.
00:30:28.000 I'm just playing what he said.
00:30:29.000 I mean, I'm not even characterizing what he said.
00:30:31.000 I'm literally playing a tape of what he said.
00:30:34.000 And all these people sue Project Veritas because I guess they want to break my will, shut me down, intimidate me.
00:30:40.000 And in the past, you know, nine years ago, I settled an Acorn lawsuit.
00:30:44.000 I think it was a mistake to do so because it was a nuisance thing.
00:30:48.000 I don't want to spend a million dollars defending myself.
00:30:50.000 This time I said, nu-uh, I'm not going to settle at all.
00:30:54.000 Litigated it all the way almost to trial, and the judge threw it out in this amazing document motion where the federal judge said, there's no selective editing.
00:31:02.000 You were telling the truth.
00:31:04.000 There was no expectation of privacy.
00:31:05.000 And the guy said what he said.
00:31:06.000 So that's a pretty important victory, and it sets precedent in the state of Florida to continue doing this sort of work down there.
00:31:12.000 Well, when you settled with Acorn, did you have the money to go to trial?
00:31:16.000 I mean, $350,000 you spent.
00:31:19.000 Yes, we spent $350,000, about 10% of what we spend every year on legal bills, which is, I know it's crazy to hear that, but this is what I'm talking about.
00:31:27.000 This is what's at stake in this country.
00:31:29.000 There's no equal justice under the law.
00:31:31.000 They just sue you because they can.
00:31:33.000 And I'm trying to get my attorney's fees back, but we'll see what happens.
00:31:37.000 I got some of them back.
00:31:38.000 But with the Acorn lawsuit, it was about expectation of privacy, whether or not you can film some without them knowing.
00:31:44.000 And we believe that as long as we're with the person, as long as there's people around, there's no problems.
00:31:48.000 And that's exactly what this federal judge said.
00:31:51.000 A big victory for the First Amendment with this case.
00:31:53.000 Yeah, it's great news.
00:31:54.000 And I'm always suspicious.
00:31:56.000 Like, there's two things going on here.
00:31:57.000 We have a litigious society in America, and that's a problem, just constantly suing people instead of working it out and torturing people to death sometimes with frivolous lawsuits.
00:32:07.000 I think it may have killed Breitbart, his lawsuits.
00:32:10.000 But secondly, and this is obviously also linked to Breitbart, there's a war on the right going on, and I am highly suspicious of where the money's coming from, sorry.
00:32:22.000 Like Ezra Levant criticized George Soros, and he was in court with frivolous lawsuits from poor people who couldn't afford to be there, but somehow Magically got the money for years and years and years.
00:32:34.000 So I'm suspicious.
00:32:35.000 Who's paying for their case?
00:32:38.000 We suspect that it's all coordinated, all these litigation against me.
00:32:45.000 I've been sued some half a dozen times, not in the last year, but going back 16 months.
00:32:51.000 And all of the plaintiffs are talking to the other plaintiffs in the depositions.
00:32:56.000 It's revealed that they're all talking to each other in cases that have nothing to do with each other.
00:33:00.000 It's all a matter of one day they're going to make an Aaron Sorkin movie off of the stuff I go through in these depositions.
00:33:06.000 It's crazy.
00:33:07.000 I can't talk about some of it, but it's unbelievable that they're all conspiring.
00:33:12.000 It may be a RICO issue.
00:33:14.000 It's certainly maybe an anti-slap issue to just sue someone, sue a journalist because he filmed you saying what you said.
00:33:21.000 American jurisprudence is pretty straightforward on.
00:33:24.000 There's no defamation if you're being truthful about something, right?
00:33:27.000 But they just say you're a liar.
00:33:28.000 And what the point is, Gavin, it's to try to shut me down, break my will, and make me quit and settle and give them, I don't know, $25,000.
00:33:37.000 Aha!
00:33:37.000 And the first paragraph of your Wikipedia page, it says, James O'Keefe settles lawsuit for $25,000, thus admitting some type of guilt, muddying the waters about what we do.
00:33:48.000 So I have to raise millions of dollars.
00:33:50.000 Think about how unfathomable that is to your audience.
00:33:52.000 I have to raise $3 million a year just to defend my good name.
00:33:57.000 And what I've learned, and this is very important, you can never settle on your principles no matter what it takes.
00:34:03.000 And the only way that you will lose is if you do settle.
00:34:07.000 If I were to settle these lawsuits, I would not be able to raise $3 million a year, right?
00:34:11.000 Yep.
00:34:12.000 Because I'd have no integrity.
00:34:13.000 So it's just a really crazy situation.
00:34:16.000 And we're 5-0 in the federal lawsuits, and we'll keep winning.
00:34:19.000 That's great.
00:34:20.000 You know, it's great for America that you fight.
00:34:22.000 It's great for this war on litigation in general that you win.
00:34:27.000 But this is really great for you, James, because the word is going to get out amongst your enemies, and they're going to go, yeah, it doesn't really pay off.
00:34:34.000 He fights back.
00:34:36.000 So I'm not investing in that.
00:34:39.000 That's exactly right.
00:34:40.000 We fight back.
00:34:40.000 And that's the most important thing.
00:34:42.000 And I'm afraid that that's a topic for another day.
00:34:44.000 But people need to understand you got to be the tip of the spear.
00:34:47.000 Congratulations, James.
00:34:49.000 And if you're going out partying tonight, I would advise you go whiskey and then beer, beer, whiskey, beer, beer.
00:34:56.000 Because if it's all whiskey, you just get too drunk too fast.
00:35:00.000 I'll take that under advisement.
00:35:02.000 Keep hydrated, man.
00:35:04.000 We'll do.
00:35:04.000 Cheers, James.
00:35:05.000 See ya.
00:35:06.000 Thanks.
00:35:10.000 You know, I remember Jimmy Kimmel telling me that a long time ago.
00:35:13.000 Never settle.
00:35:15.000 Never settle a suit.
00:35:16.000 He was being sued by an imbecile named Scary Perry.
00:35:19.000 Pandora's box alert, Windy City Heat, the whole culture around this 40-year prank is just amazing.
00:35:25.000 30-year prank.
00:35:26.000 You have to check it out on your own time.
00:35:28.000 We'll do a whole episode on that.
00:35:30.000 But Scary Perry was trying to sue him for $40,000, and then he lowered it to $10,000, and then they were in court.
00:35:37.000 And Scary Perry lowered it to something like $100, and Jimmy Campbell said, no, I'm not doing that.
00:35:43.000 And took it to court and won.
00:35:46.000 And I don't think he's been sued since.
00:35:48.000 See, we can kill this litigious culture by just saying no to these people.
00:35:54.000 My dad's name was Cookie.
00:35:57.000 What was that?
00:35:58.000 That was Perry Scaravello.
00:36:01.000 No, that's someone doing an imitation of Scary Perry.
00:36:03.000 It's totally incongruous, has nothing to do with the show, and is a waste of everyone's time.
00:36:08.000 I want to get to the mailbag.
00:36:11.000 We're not going to end with the viral video this app.
00:36:13.000 We're out of time.
00:36:14.000 But I want to first talk about the 25 hottest chicks.
00:36:17.000 Lisa Booth has just made it in.
00:36:21.000 She is ahead of Kimberly Guilfoil, and she's entering the charts at number 11.
00:36:29.000 Number 11, Lisa Booth, because she's so smart, spunky, and she looks like a cartoon.
00:36:36.000 She looks like Bambi.
00:36:39.000 Look at that.
00:36:39.000 She doesn't even look human.
00:36:42.000 No, that's not her.
00:36:43.000 Keep scrolling down.
00:36:45.000 Imagine that was your wife.
00:36:47.000 Look at that.
00:36:47.000 You just have Bambi in your bed.
00:36:49.000 So congratulations to Lisa for being at number 11, and her IQ is definitely a big part of that.
00:36:55.000 Speaking of IQ, we have a problem, though, with Lauren Chen, roaming millennial.
00:37:01.000 I feel paternal towards her.
00:37:03.000 I've known her for a while since before she got on CR-TV.
00:37:07.000 I've been watching her videos since they first came out.
00:37:09.000 She's been on my show.
00:37:09.000 I've been on her show.
00:37:11.000 So I may have like a protecting my daughter thing.
00:37:14.000 That's not a good picture of her.
00:37:17.000 No, I like her like there when she's on the TV.
00:37:19.000 No, no, no, that other one with the stripes behind her.
00:37:22.000 Yeah, like even in that, with crappy TV stuff, she looks incredible.
00:37:27.000 So I don't know.
00:37:28.000 and you probably, you don't seem to be into Asians, so you probably don't want her on.
00:37:31.000 Technically, I feel very weird not how, I feel nothing for that.
00:37:37.000 You do?
00:37:38.000 I don't.
00:37:39.000 How can you not?
00:37:41.000 Boring.
00:37:43.000 Boring?
00:37:44.000 No one looks like her.
00:37:44.000 Yeah.
00:37:54.000 We're going to have to think about this.
00:37:55.000 We'll cut back to you on it.
00:37:57.000 It doesn't seem right having her on the list or off the list.
00:38:00.000 All right.
00:38:01.000 Ryan, play the song.
00:38:02.000 We got to do the mailbag, and then we're out.
00:38:06.000 Ryan, shut up, you don't have a dad.
00:38:10.000 Let's turn our eyes to Gavin's mailbag.
00:38:16.000 Let me touch it.
00:38:18.000 It's from Elliot Crane.
00:38:21.000 What the bad word is up with Twisted Tea.
00:38:25.000 Gavin, my name is Max.
00:38:26.000 I'm from New Jersey.
00:38:27.000 My girlfriend is from Philly.
00:38:28.000 I've gone to quite a few family events down there and have noticed possibly the most impurity thing I've ever seen.
00:38:33.000 Every single man, no matter what, drinks goddamn twisted tea or even worse, twisted tea light.
00:38:40.000 Everyone, even the most macho dudes.
00:38:42.000 It completely dumbfounded me.
00:38:44.000 I asked my girlfriend why everyone is drinking and she just said that's what everyone always drinks.
00:38:48.000 Could that be the most effeminate beer-related thing of all time?
00:38:52.000 Max?
00:38:53.000 It's for Max.
00:38:54.000 Oh yeah, Max Gennicrelli.
00:38:55.000 Elliot Crane was a previous sweater.
00:38:58.000 Totally and utterly Unacceptable.
00:39:01.000 You are not allowed to drink any kind of non-beer beverage.
00:39:05.000 You may drink wine with an Italian dinner.
00:39:08.000 You may not drink wine in a bar.
00:39:11.000 You obviously cannot drink beholding a STEM out in public.
00:39:15.000 That's like at a backyard party.
00:39:17.000 No.
00:39:18.000 And for beers, you have to drink corporate boring beers.
00:39:22.000 I drink Budweiser.
00:39:23.000 I think it's the king of beers.
00:39:24.000 But I understand there's some different people out there.
00:39:26.000 You can have PBR.
00:39:28.000 You can have Miller High Life.
00:39:29.000 You can have Heineken.
00:39:31.000 You can have lots of, you can have Yingling.
00:39:33.000 I think it's America's oldest beer.
00:39:35.000 You can have Rolling Rock.
00:39:36.000 St. Pauli's Girl.
00:39:38.000 That's a good beer.
00:39:40.000 I'm not familiar with it, but maybe.
00:39:42.000 But yeah, Twisted Tea.
00:39:44.000 Are you worried about your figure?
00:39:46.000 You disgusting shell of a man?
00:39:49.000 No, no, it's all sugar.
00:39:50.000 It's all sugar.
00:39:51.000 It's not good for you.
00:39:52.000 So there's no explanation whatsoever.
00:39:54.000 No, it gives you heartburn.
00:39:55.000 makes you look like a dick.
00:39:56.000 I know there's some disease like Alzheimer's where Mike's hard lemonade is better for you or something.
00:40:03.000 We're not talking about that.
00:40:04.000 So absolutely unacceptable.
00:40:06.000 And if you are drinking twisted tea, we want you to unsubscribe from this show.
00:40:11.000 We don't want your money.
00:40:12.000 And tell us how much it is because we're going to take that money and burn it.
00:40:16.000 Actually, let's go to one video before we go.
00:40:20.000 Why would you say that?
00:40:22.000 Based on how I look at you.
00:40:25.000 You think that's a problem?
00:40:27.000 Yeah, probably.
00:40:28.000 How many genders are there?
00:40:31.000 I don't know.
00:40:32.000 I just got you.
00:40:33.000 Oh, God, I can think of at least four or five.
00:40:36.000 One.
00:40:37.000 One?
00:40:38.000 I don't know.
00:40:38.000 A lot.
00:40:39.000 One?
00:40:40.000 There's one gender.
00:40:42.000 How many genders are there?
00:40:43.000 32.
00:40:44.000 32.
00:40:45.000 Where do you get that number from?
00:40:47.000 For LGBT...
00:40:48.000 I mean, I don't mean to pick on anybody, but I see a lot of young girls today identifying as non-binary genders.
00:40:54.000 But with the genders, I think there's...
00:40:58.000 Oh, I need to be a princess or not.
00:41:00.000 Nothing.
00:41:00.000 Hey, sis.
00:41:01.000 If I want to fuck me, I just jerk off in the mirror.
00:41:03.000 Oh, my God.
00:41:04.000 That's me with your wiggle.
00:41:06.000 We gotta go.
